Steph’s pov
We both burst through his front door, laughing our heads off at Ash telling me stories about when he was a kid.
“Hey guys!” Dru smiled, I ran over and tackled him.
“DRU! I haven’t seen you for ages!”I squealed.
“We saw each other yesterday!” He laughed.
“That’s still too long!” I let go of him, “you want to watch some movies with us?” He shook his head.
“Nah, I’m good thanks, was about to go out anyway. Enjoy the chick flicks Ash!” He laughed and hugged us both goodbye before leaving. Ash looked at me in horror.
“Chick flicks?!” He exclaimed.
“Please, just one?” I pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
“Fine, why do you have to be so irresistible?” He questioned and pulled me closer. I went in for a kiss, stopping when we were centimeters away from each other, and then ran away.
“You are such a tease!” he laughed, and came running after me. I fought him off with a pillow and jumped onto the sofa.
“Back you beast!” I joked; he grabbed me around the waist and put me over his shoulders.
“Ahhhh!” I cried and he put me down on the sofa. I giggled and kissed him on his nose.
“You are so cute”, he whispered and laughed when I blushed, “I will be right back, just going to put the popcorn in the microwave.” He kissed me on the cheek and got up.
“Hey, didn’t know you were in! I’m making popcorn, you want some?” I turned around, sure enough; Stef was standing on the stairs.
“Yeah please.” Ash nodded and went into the kitchen. Stef came over and joined me on the sofa.
“Hey, don’t think we have officially met, I’m Stefan”, he said. I smiled,
“Hey, I’m Steph”.
“Good name”, he mused. I laughed and he winked at me.
“Here comes popcorn!” Ash came running in; chucking the boiling bag of popcorn on the table and putting his fingers in his mouth, “damn, that stuff’s hot!” He complained.
“Not as hot as you”, I blurted out, forgetting Stef was here. He looked uncomfortable, “sorry”, I mumbled, embarrassed. Ash looked amused and came to sit on the other side of me. He put a huge bowl of popcorn on my lap. I cuddled into him and put my head on his shoulder when he played the film. We were watching mean girls; Ash looked completely bored the whole way through, Stef was actually really getting into it. I smiled, aw, he seemed really nice. Once the film finished, Ash breathed a sigh of relief and put on an action film. I smiled to myself and started falling asleep as soon as it started.
Stef’s pov
The first film was actually quite good, it’s kind of sad that I like chick flicks but I couldn’t help it. Halfway through the second film Ash got a text, he muttered something under his breath.
“I have to go out for ten minutes; can you look after Steph for a little while?”Suspicion grew inside me.
“Um..yeah sure, where you going?” I asked trying to act normal.
“My mum needs to talk to me about something”, he dismissed, and I could tell he was lying, There was no way his mum would still be up. He left and I tried to push my worries away. I'm his friend, i should just trust that something really important has com up. I yawned, suddenly overwhelmed with tiredness and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up about an hour later. I looked at Steph; she was cuddled up to me, curled up in a ball with her head on my chest and her legs on my lap. I smiled to myself and moved the hair gently out of her face. She looked so peaceful and beautiful; I wanted to kiss her so badly. I stroked her face with the back of my hand and felt her smooth, soft skin. Stop! I scolded myself, she has a boyfriend. What is going on with me? I put my head in my hands, god, she smelt so good. Another thought registered with me, where was Ash? I peeled myself away from Steph, trying not to wake her up and put a blanket over her. I sent Ash a text, Ash? Where are you? He replied back instantly , I completely messed up! I’m coming home now; please don’t say anything to Steph! Just as I read it, I heard a loud yawn. Steph got up, looking really confused,
“Stef? What happened? Where’s Ash?”
